  • Maintain a minimum of 36 inches of aisle space in work areas and 42–48 inches in high-traffic zones.
  • Islands should have sufficient space for seating, ensuring at least 15 inches of overhang for comfort.
  • Dining and living areas should allow at least 3 feet of clearance around furniture for easy movement.

Tip 3: Balance Aesthetics with Functionality
